The Tech&Learning 100@30

As part of our 30th anniversary celebration, Tech&Learning has compiled the first two of three lists of the 100 most important people: those leaders from the PAST who have shaped today's edtech environment, and those leaders from the PRESENT who have been instrumental in the creation and advancement of the use of technology in education. These first 60 honorees appear below, and we've enjoyed the online debates over the choices for this list.

We are now looking for nominees for our last and possibly most challenging list, the FUTURE. These will include

students doing ground-breaking work in edtech, young entrepreneurs shaping the future of edtech, and those teachers changing classrooms around the nation.

To nominate your candidate, take our Reader Poll, or email cweiser@nbmedia.com to make your case. Those selected will appear in our September back-to-school issue!
